"And by observing how the tree trunks turn ever upwards into space as time passes." Inspired by painters Mark Rothko and Ellsworth Kelly, Farr approaches the floor as the fifth wall, blending geometric sophistication with ancient rug weaving techniques to create abstract canvases for the floor. Like all the floor coverings that Farr has designed for DWR, the Twist is hand spun and hand tufted of fine wool and manually dyed in small batches to create rich tonal nuances in the strands. Over time, the Twist Runner will become even more beautiful as the wool's natural lanolin emerges and invigorates the surface, creating enhanced luster. Made in India. DWR Exclusive
